Author Description

After a short, practical introduction in Chapter 1 (which includes a list of useful websites), the book deals with British nationality and the right of abode in the United Kingdom in Chapter 2. This is followed by a detailed analysis of immigration controls in Chapter 3. The unique immigration status of EU and EEA nationals and their family members is considered in Chapter 4, along with how a family member of a British citizen who has engaged Treaty rights might use EU rather than domestic law to enter the UK. The next four chapters then address the key immigration categories of entry to the UK, including new chapters on visitors and students under the Tier 4 points based system. Asylum seekers and refugees are considered in Chapter 9. Enforcement of immigration law and the appeals system are dealt with in the last two chapters. The appendices contain key resource documents such as the Immigration Rules, the Immigration (EEA) Regulations 2006 and materials on the points based system.
